LONDON — CSX Transportation (CSXT) announced on March 27 the recent opening of a representative office near London, England, with commercial responsibility for all of Europe.
CSXT, the largest eastern railroad in the U.S., and a subsidiary of CSX Corporation, provides rail-based transportation and logistical services. The company handles bulk (dry and liquid), conventional, RoRo, heavy lift, and project cargoes across a broad commodity range. Principal business segments include coal, automotive, chemicals, agricultural, paper and forest products, metals, consumer and manufactured products. CSXT’s 23,000 route-mile rail system and network of transload facilities provide unparalleled access to key markets.
CSXT’s new presence in Europe supports an increased focus on international freight and the company’s overall growth strategy. The new office, lead by Peter Mills, director- international sales and marketing, will serve European shippers, forwarders and logistics managers. It will promote the company’s range of services in North America and look to strengthen the CSXT brand in Europe. The office will encourage supply chain strategies that employ rail-based services and capture the inherent service, economic and environmental benefits of rail transport. The office will also work in partnership with European service providers, including forwarders, ports and ocean carriers, to build and market creative services that link European and North American markets.
In addition to the new London office, CSXT recently added a second office in Mexico, established South and Central American sales coverage, and created a domestic Ports Business Development Team to work with service providers at the 45 deep water ports served by CSXT.
